I wasn't aware of that, having only been watching casually. Care to elaborate?

Well, in addition to the blatant arc concerning the Grand Galloping Gala, the characters themselves evolve over the course of their experiences, in ways extremely consistent with their personalities and histories. For a show that was supposedly made to be viewed in any order, there are a lot of relevant callbacks to previous episodes.

Also, the worldbuilding is very well-structured and consistent, and that is pleasing to a continuity wonk such as myself.

Definitely start with the pilot two-parter. It gets even better as the series progresses, though, and has a very subtle thread of continuity that pays off if you watch it through from the very beginning.

Having watched the pilot (both parts), I can quite firmly re-state that it's a generic children's show designed to push "lessons" on kids. Combined with subpar animation, this pisses me off.

However, having then watched part of the next episode, I can say the animation does improve, and there does appear to be some sort of attmept at building a consistent "world". Not that it's a world I'm terribly interested in, but I can appreciate what they're trying to do.

I'm on the fence here.

I'll finish the first five episodes before I come down on one side or the other.

I can dig that art... however I think Leela's cutie mark should be different. I get that it's her bracelet that her mom gave her but I feel cutie marks pertain only to what you're good at (if I take Cutie Mark Chronicles seriously, and I do) and Leela's good at giving ass kickings so why not a boot? I'm really particular aren't I?

Below is an image from season two which has been released. While there is little of interest that can be determined from it (apart from the fact that Rainbow Dash might possibly be shouting "Stampede!"), I am very amused by the depiction within the closest window on the right-hoof side.

I've watched that series from the beginning. Fluttershy singing Hellfire is hilarious yet oddly disturbing, and the polka Pinkie Pie performs to protect Ponyville from the plentiful and proliferous parasprites is perfectly priceless.
